We could really use a good, well-respected journalist to write about the true (and alarming) science on COVID & how it was propagandized & normalized so that tragically everyone now thinks it’s just a cold—and that they’re no longer in danger. Know anyone who might be interested?

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com

Forget EVs. Cycling is revolutionising transport

Pedal power is booming, spinning up a new culture war

The BBC still furiously peddling the fiction that Trump "railroaded" Netanyahu into a peace deal.

No, the US could have secured a deal any time over the past two years by ending the shipments of bombs.

Washington *chose* to keep the genocide going till Gaza was levelled.

Australian citizens have the right to return to Australia. Calling them 'Isis brides' does not change the law. They are Australian.

After claiming Commr Brereton rarely provides advice to IGADF, NACC CEO Philip Reed then says it’s going to “take some time” for Brereton to advise him on how many times he’s provided advice.
Shoebridge “Bcoz there’s so much advice?”

According to the article, they take freshly dead bodies, pump them up with blood and use them to trauma-train soldiers. In other words, how to carry on fighting in war when you were really bothered by people being blown to smithereens.

Spookbringer @smellbringer.bsky.social · 10d

I'm wondering what they were doing with the bodies, which I'm sure the article will say, but I really don't want to know.

Deb Noller @debnoller.bsky.social · 10d

Brilliant! Could just as easily apply to @albomp.bsky.social or @mark-carney.bsky.social - they mistake the massive swing as a vote for them instead of the sheer terror of a right-wing, conservative nut-job govt. Nobody voted for centrist nothingness.

Initially, our testers (even those who were big fans of mayo) were intimidated by the thought of eating such a fatty condiment by the spoonful. Surprisingly, it wasn’t as daunting a task as we had expected. nyti.ms/42h8Zmw

$55M a day to private schools - 20B per year, 1/4 of 1 AUKUS sub. Versus $3.4B/year to underfund public schools or 1/20 of an AUKUS sub. #auspol

BREAKING: New analysis shows that Labor’s deal with the states will lock in permanent underfunding of public schools.

What does it say about Labor that they simply refuse to provide public schools with the bare minimum while they pour $55 million a day into private schools?

I'll tell you what I'm "deeply concerned" abt, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social.

I'm "deeply concerned" abt your complicity in Israel's genocide of the people of Palestine.

And I'm "deeply concerned" I won't live long enough to see you charged, standing in The Hague where you belong.

Australia is literally keeping Israel’s F35 fighter jets flying and bombing by sending dozens and dozens of parts directly to Israel since the genocide began.

This is actively supporting a genocide. It is criminal.

I am deeply concerned about the treatment of people living in tents in the Southern Parklands in Adelaide. People are having their homes rolled up and removed while away, returning to find their important personal possessions gone. This is wrong, and unjust. 🧵

trying to explain that ignoring massive planetary depletion for minor “efficiency” dividends as calculated by classical economic theorists is the most backwards shit you could possibly pitch. To white male execs who make multi million dollar tech procurement decisions.
